Hi,
Unfortunately I'm back with another problem!
Amiga is nearly back together, just on last stage of retrobriting the keys, some have taken 4 or 5 treatments, mainly the white keys. Still not quite there..
Anyway, have been playing a bit of Project X, had a funny thing happen, where it loaded a bit, then asked for Disk 4! Strange as it's only on two disks! Then noticed that I hadn't replaced the trapdoor expansion!
Put that back in, and Project X loaded ok.
Thought I'd try workbench to see if the memory expansion is registered. Unfortunately it no longer loads, it was fine just a couple of days ago, prior to keyboard being taken apart. All that has happened since is, I have cleaned corrosion off of floppy drive, and lightly oiled top of outer casing.
Just wondering if workbench not loading is a hardware issue? It does a few different things on loading.
e.g.
Loads a bit, then asks for the disk to be replaced in the drive. At the moment I'm unable to click retry, as my mouse is in bits getting cleaned up.
It loads and then looks as if a key has been pressed down, it's been a 1 and - so far, different each time. But it types about 2 and a half lines. Then stops, after a while the drive may turn a few times. But loads no further.
Could it be that I've been a bit clumsy and some oil or, dust has got into the drive, or would one of the CIA chips be faulty?
Thanks
